I'm still scared it will catch up with me but it was a couple of years ago, it was in the local papers. It wasn't even intentional, that turf must have cost a fortune.

i done somthing very similar to this 2 years ago and it was in the evening times. it wasnt a golf course, somewhere much worse lol. still scared to this day lolother things include
puting diesel in my glanza then trying to syphon it and swollowing a lot, not 1ce but 2ce haha
done a compression test and when refiting the spark plugs i dropped 1 in the wrong way and took me about 20 mins to get back out (ended up using chop sticks haha)
tried to take a bend at 50 is mph in a 20 year old xr2 with a rotten floor (ended up on the roof and 2 wheels tucked up like the delorian in bttf)
when i started my apprentice ship, was told to top the water up in a car battery, being a complete nube i didnt even know you could do that. so asked what to put in it, my mentor pointed at a bottle and said put it in, so i did, unfortunately in the bottle was oil, rather than ionised water, which i didnt know wasnt sposed to go in, and ny mentor only realised when i had finised topping it up, needless to say, i got the piss taken out of me for months at work for that. lol
although have come along way since then. ;p

On one of the many occasions with the turbo off my car, I was putting everything back together and started to top the radiator up. I'm put in three 2 litre jug fulls then noticed my feet starting to get wet. I'd only gone and forgotten to re-attach the bottom radiator hose.
I also fitted a pipe for an air filter and ended up tearing it off on the way to work because it was making this God-awful high pitched scream. I wondered what was going on when I carried on into work with the screaming still going. I checked when I'd got to work and found I'd only done the nuts on the outlet pipe up finger tight, so she was squealing boost out past the gasket.
lulz :haha:

I needed to adjust the handbrake on my old avenger in preparing for a local dexterity event. After working a whole afternoon on it to get the back wheels to lock on two "clicks" I took it for a test drive. 10mins into the drive....the ass drops....two familiar looking wheels speeds and bounce past me, one narrowly clearing the roof of an oncoming car (scary)....there's no pedal pressure or handbrake so I was just along for the ride as I skidded to a grinding, sparking stop.....got out and looked at the rear axle, there were no hubs, brakes shoes, tensioning spings, nothing was left. That was the day I learned to always, always tighten the wheel nuts.......
